    Common calibers without non lead ammunition available?

    So the Yurok tribe is trying to bring Condors up here to Del Norte County and they have been holding these "get the lead out" events where they promote copper bullets and tell people how bad lead ammo is. They say they are trying to educate and not legislate but I think its obvious if they bring them here we will most likely end up in the non lead hunting zone.

    Anyway, I'm in an argument about non lead bullets and I'm looking for calibers that non lead ammunition is not available for, the more common the better. Any help would be appreciated.

    you can get almost all factory loaded calibers in copper now for common calibers . and if you cant get a factory loaded ammo they probably have the copper bullets so you can reload your own.

    if you want to see go here http://www.federalpremium.com/products/rifle.aspx

    they have a few different types of copper bullets, most all from federal will be a barnes bullet.

      I guess that might not have been the best title. I'm looking for basically anything that it isn't available for. The more common the better though.

      Has anyone ever wanted to take one of their more exotic calibers hunting but couldn't find non lead loaded ammo?

        what is a exotic caliber to you?

        they have them from 22s-.500

        I like copper over lead so i dont mind it at all.

          Well, I can't buy factory lead-free hunting ammo for my foreign milsurps. No lead-free 7.62x39, 7.62x54r, .303 Brit, 8mm Mauser, or 6.5x55 Swede. Oh, and 7.5x55 Swiss.

            ""bring Condors up here to Del Norte County""

            Why would they bring condors there when they are not there already? if the condors wanted to be there wouldn't they just fly there?. I would bring this up instead of the lead free stuff. Birds will go where there is food in shelter.

            Good luck
